Edward Jones-Financial Advisor: Donaven Yousif

Edward Jones-Financial Advisor: Donaven Yousif I was born and raised in San Diego, and I am a first-generation American, which shaped how seriously I take responsibility and trust. This belief is personal.

Many of my clients already had advisors, they were looking for a more coordinated, comprehensive approach across all aspects of their financial picture. They wanted one primary point of contact to help coordinate decisions and provide clarity as they move forward. Clients often reach out when important decisions arise. I focus on what I what I think of as ‘return on life’ planning. That means help

ing people live well today and tomorrow while protecting the people they care about for the future. I believe planning has to account for more than market risk. Life brings other risks that matter just as much. During the Great Recession, while working in a retirement home, I watched retirees lose the security they thought was permanent. At the same time, I watched my own father lose his business and everything he had built. Later, my family experienced the sudden loss of my father-in-law, and I cared for my mother before, during and after hospice. Those experiences shaped how I view planning. Health changes, long-term care needs, loss of income and unexpected events can change everything if they are not thought through ahead of time. Today, I work with families and retirees who want their income, decisions and legacy to feel organized and intentional, not stressful. Our conversations focus more on how financial decisions align with real-life goals than on short-term market activity. I also work closely with CPAs, attorneys and other professionals to keep everything aligned. If you are looking for a thoughtful, collaborative approach and recognize that financial planning extends beyond the markets, we may be a good fit to connect.

I'm encouraged to see that Gen Z is already thinking about building long-term financial security. Yet research shows many young adults still haven't taken the first step by participating in a workplace retirement plan.

As a financial advisor, I know that getting started can often be the hardest part of saving and investing. Having access to the right resources, education and guidance can help individuals build healthy financial habits and greater confidence in their future.

That's why I find it so rewarding to help people make progress toward their goals, so they can feel more confident about their future.

Can a six-figure income still leave you feeling financially lost?

Our research with Gallup — recently featured in Fortune — found that among Americans earning more than $135,000, nearly 70% still struggle to feel financially fulfilled. Even more striking: 1 in 5 high earners report experiencing significant financial stress.

As a financial advisor, this doesn't surprise me. Income alone doesn't create confidence. What can make a difference is having a clear plan, knowing what matters most to you, and feeling genuinely in control of your financial future.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to start a conversation.

The S&P 500 reached new highs as several key market headwinds began to ease. While record levels can make investors hesitant, history suggests that all-time highs have often been followed by continued gains, with long-term returns comparable to, or even better than, investing on a typical trading day.*
